Hello,
Although, more information is needed in order for me to give a more precise answer, I can say that painless rectal bleeding can still be caused by hemorrhoids. However this may be a symptom of other conditions such as polyps or colon cancer, so I strongly recommend you see a doctor for further investigation.
Wishing you all the best.
